They go their separate ways and Nom Anor returns to the hillside and sees the hyperspace cones.  He is taken aback by them as they are large enough to move an entire planet.  He makes contact with a relative and him to take his villip to Shimrra personally.  Overnight he makes contact with Shimrra and tells him that Nen Yim and Harrar are plotting against him and that he has been captured by the Jedi and is just now able to escape and learns they are on Zonama Sekot.  He tells Shimrra to only send a couple of ships to handle the situation because by the time they arrived he will have killed the planet with information he stole from Nen Yim.

When Corran tells Tahiri that he and Harrar are setting off for the hyperspace drives she snaps back that she doesn't want to baby sit any further.  They argue, and Tahiri, in a fit of emotion, begins crying and says what she really needs is a new teacher to help her guide this new personality she's created.  She wants Corran to be that teacher and he accepts as long as Luke agrees.

Tahiri returns to find Nen working very hard on an experiment to prove or disprove this so-called Force connection.  The explanation includes a bit of information as to the shaping that was done on Tahiri's brain.  Tahiri asks whether Riina was a real being and after describing many of her memories Nen stunned to realize that the memories Tahiri has are her own!  Overwhelmed by this knowledge and the information she was learning from the planet, Nen goes off alone to meditate.  She believes that she's tapped into the memories of everything that's happened on the planet and she thinks he knows the solutions to all of their problems. 

Unseen above them, Nom Anor heads off after Nen Yim.   She is basking in the revelations she has just discovered when Nom Anor steps up behind her.  She talks of the truth and in turn he reveals the truth that of who is really is.  She attacks him, but he is able to poison her.  He takes a rock and smashes her head several times and steals her data collector.  Tahiri finds her on the ground and with Nen’s dying breath she reveals the Prophets true identity and his plans to kill the planet.

Coming to the aid of Wedge’s forces, Han and Leia arrive.  Twin Suns squadron is under heavy attack and head towards an asteroid field only to encounter a hidden station.  She lands and is taken hostage by the criminals running it who hope to fend off any Vong attacks.  Han, Leia, and Jag come to her aid and the station along with Wedge’s fleet jump to hyperspace and abandon the mission.  Pash Cracken and Judder Page are among those left behind and Pellaeon’s son is killed.

At the hyperspace cones, Corran tells Harrar what they really are and they find a tunnel that leads towards the planets core and to the communications hub of the drives.  Back in disguise, Nom Anor follows Corran and Harrar and takes the life down as they are heading back up.  Upon reaching the bottom he begins looking for the components that will allow him to destroy the planet.  Upon leaving the hyperdrive area they run into Tahiri who tells them of Nom's deception.

With only minor difficulty, Nom Anor finds his target and injects something that will mean the end of the planet.  He makes contact with the Vong ships overhead and they tell him that they will be sending a transport for him in the next few hours.

Leaving Tahiri at the top to wait in case Nom returns, Corran uses the Force and some extra padding to slide down a power cord to the basement since Nom had disabled the lifts.  Nom hears Corran hit the ground nearby and makes a run for the lift knowing that Tahiri is probably waiting up top for him.  He makes it to the top and shoots poison at her.  She dodges, but falls off balance and he shoves her over the railing!  Tahiri uses the Force to draw herself to the cable that Corran had used.   She's able to stop herself, but with only her bare hands that are now terribly injured.  After knocking out Harrar, he takes Tahiri's dropped lightsaber and severs the power to the elevator Corran is taking.  Nom doesn't get far as Harrar catches him from behind and tackles him.

Using a battery backup Corran finally reaches the top and helps Tahiri as well.  They head after Nom Anor, but they can sense through the Force that whatever his plan was, he had already done it.  They see a shuttle heading down towards the service and race towards it.

They arrived just ahead of the shuttle and Nom knows it will be too late for him and he takes off running through the woods.  Tahiri catches him with a huge drop kick and retrieves her lightsaber.  She threatens to kill or torture him unless he tells them what he's done to the planet.  Suddenly the planet shutters and they are all launched into the air allowing Nom to escape yet again.  As they chased after him Vong warriors hold them off as he hurries onto the ship.  As the Jedi are surrounded suddenly, the Jade Shadow appears and starts blasting the warriors and Luke and the others appear to help them.  Tahiri takes off for the shuttle and makes it just behind Nom Anor and the door closes behind him.  Suddenly a huge pillar of light appears from the hyperspace cones and the ground rumbles.

As Nom Anor looks on, the planet along with the Widowmaker and the Jade Shadow blasts into hyperspace and disappears!

Seeking shelter in the Jade Shadow, Corran and Tahiri begin to recount their tale when Sekot in the form of Nen Yim walks into the room. Sekot tells them that it has taken on the memories of Nen Yim and all that she did on the planet.  Sekot tells them that the planet was infected with a virus that was supposed to destroy the core of the planet but it was neutralized.  This hyperspace jump was unplanned, but not a major problem as the planet was slowly coming back under control.  Tahiri feels bad about bringing Nom Anor to Sekot, but others say that everyone was partly to blame for the situation.  Sekot tells Tahiri that because Nen Yim was there the information that she brought and the questions that were raised during their discussions will prove to be invaluable and perhaps the most important questions Sekot will ever address.
